B) $ (-\infty ,-2) $

C) $ (-\infty ,2] $

D) $ (-\infty ,-2] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • [c] We have, $ 37-(3x+5)\ge 9x-8(x-3) $ $ (37-3x-5)\ge 9x-8x+24 $
    $ \Rightarrow 32-3x\ge x+24 $ Transferring the term 24 to L.H.S. and the term $ (-3x) $ to R.H.S. $ 32-24\ge x+3x\Rightarrow 8\ge 4x\Rightarrow 4x\le 8 $ Dividing both sides by 4. $ \frac{4x}{4}\le \frac{8}{4}\Rightarrow x\le 2 $
    $ \therefore $ Solution set is $ (-\infty ,2]. $
